Polar Bear Pete certainly knows how the Mets are playing. https://larrybrownsports.com/baseba...y-comment-after-mets-got-swept-by-cubs/577749
Unbelievable. Bottom of the 2nd, 1st and 3rd, no one out, strikeout, double play, no runs. Beyond pathetic.
deGrom, hitting 8th in the order, drives in the run for the Mets. Who would expect anything else? He is now 5 for 9 this season, and has a five-game hitting streak dating back to last year.
Jake sets a major league record with 49 Ks in his first four starts, and he's still only thrown 88 pitches. Third pitcher ever to strike out 14+ in three straight starts.
Jake with the neat 2-hit shutout, setting down the final 19 batters. He is now the career Mets ERA leader, moving below The Franchise, with a 0.31 ERA this year. He had two hits, too.
This really was a one-hitter - the ball Nimmo botched in the third should have been called an error, not a hit (it was at knee-level right at him, and hit off the heel of his glove). I was surprised that it didn't get hometown scoring as an error (maybe that was a favor to the team to not have yet another error put on their tally), and I'll bet it would have been scored that way if Jake hadn't given up an infield hit the previous inning. This game was actually closer to a no-hitter than it appears at first glance.
At one point in the season do we start pointing fingers at the hitting coach? 2.0/runs game in losses? C'mon
and when do we start being honest about the Mgr. and the GM? Cohen needs to clean house and start fresh in the leadership dept.
My father took me to my first Mets game at the Polo Grounds in 1963. In other words, a loooooong time.
